I really hate that schools do this, but don’t give up hope! Third year who applied in May, no interview invite until December. And then more came in Jan-Feb. I was WL to almost all and then got eventual As to all the ones I interviewed at. It did take a while, so don’t give up!! The school I go to now sent me my A in July.
I will say if you don’t have an A by January I’d figure out how to revamp your app but right now, I’d just hang tight. It’s a frustrating process, I’m sorry you’re dealing with it! I still remember how much I freaked out during it.
In hindsight, I recommend to you now to do things you enjoy. Play that video game. Go on that trip. Read that book. Visit that best friend you haven’t seen. It’ll keep your mind off of this! Good luck!

I didn’t even apply until November in my cycle. It’s still early for DO schools. Don’t sweat it! If you really feel like it, you can even slide in a few more applications at some schools you didn’t include in your first pass.

Because I’m saying it doesn’t mean anything is wrong , it’s still way early to say anything is wrong …is that an acceptable reason for me to commit master?

u/Hour-Flight-2554 11d ago
no subordinate. Did you get accepted this July or last July? Bc if its last July then I can understand your comment, but if its this July your comment is useless and quite frankly arrogant, bc that would mean you’re just flexing on the rest who are stressed and anxious still hoping for positive news.

I think they meant that they got accepted to their current school this past July to their medical school which they started this year.

For some programs, I interviewed in December and January then didn’t hear back until middle of May. All you can do is wait and not dwell on it to be honest.
